The S&P Consumer Discretionary index advanced 1.9% this week, driven by strong sales in gaming hardware. This sector momentum indicates enhanced financing opportunities for PS5 buyers, as consumer loan approvals have remained steady despite broader market volatility. It might seem confusing, but the 'Netflix Original' label doesn't just relate to content the streaming giant has created but also to projects it has licensed to premiere exclusively on its service. Would it be cheaper to buy the PS5 Pro now, even if you don't have the money upfront? As a personal finance writer, my gut told me no. I worried that what you'd pay in credit card interest charges would cost you far more than a potential $280 price hike. To see if the numbers backed my theory, I spoke to different experts and researched various buying options. Here's what I found out. Bank of America card services report a 15% increase in electronics purchase financing this quarter. This spike coincides with gaming console demand, making financing a PS5 a plausible entry point for leveraged yet manageable consumer spending.
